Request the strand to invoke
          the given function object.

<pre class="programlisting">template&lt;

<p>
          This function is used to ask the strand to execute the given function object
          on its underlying executor. The function object will be executed inside
          this function if the strand is not otherwise busy and if the underlying
          executor's <code class="computeroutput">dispatch()</code> function is also able to execute the
          function before returning.
